Procrastinators Unite! Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Round-up for the Hims

Funny story: Shay and I had our first conversation ever over Valentine’s Day. Shay and I worked for the same company.. I had only just started there about a month before and had seen this cute guy around the coffee machine.. which is funny, because I don’t drink coffee. Anyway, Valentine’s Day came around – I was feeling kind of nonchalantly bitter, because although I don’t really get overly excited about Valentine’s Day, it’s just not fun to be partner-less on February 14th. It didn’t really bother me to be single at any other time of the year.. except maybe Christmas.. but that is the one day of the year that leaves all the singles out – it is a gig in which you are expected to have a partner, and you don’t get to go to the party if you don’t have one. I didn’t have one. So.. I was feeling a bit angry-table-for-one-ish. I was walking down the hall after picking up some copies from the printer, when Mr.SuperCute walked by on his way to pick up his own copies and wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day, to which I replied, without looking up from my papers, “Happy, happy, joy, joy.” He laughed, I snickered – 30 minutes later he sent me an email that read, “Ren and Stimpy.. nice.. “. We then proceeded to slam Valentine’s Day together for the remainder of the day. We went on our first date very shortly after. The rest, they say, is history. Who knew Ren and Stimpy were the ultimate matchmakers?

Fast forward, and yet another Valentine’s Day is upon us. Over the past few weeks we’ve spent some time baking up our favorite Valentine treats and our littlest Valentines have their cards created, signed, sealed. I’m not a complete slacker.. or.. am I.. I must be, since I’m now faced with a dilemma.. what to get Mr. SuperCuteness. We are down to the wire, with three days left – counting V-Day itself.. not to be confused with D-Day.. although in this case, perhaps it’s both? – and a pending super freak snow storm on the horizon, which promises to snow all of Central VA in. Trudge forward I must to find the perfect gift before the first flurries fly! Needless to say, I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking around for the past few days. Knowing there are people all over the world just like me, I thought I’d help my fellow procrastinators out by giving you a few ideas that I’ve come across for your very own Mr. SuperCutes.. mine is spoken for and I don’t share well!
